SCREW, CLOSE TOLERAN

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded DON INDUSTRIAL GROUP LLC (CAGE 745V4) a firm-fixed-price contract valued at $1,500.00 for the procurement of two close-tolerance screws (NSN 5305014517677) under solicitation SPE4A0-26-T-2869, with an award date of July 8, 2026. Delivery is required within five days after receipt of order, with FOB ORIGIN terms and shipment destined to ASD NORFOLK SUPPLY DEPARTMENT in Norfolk, Virginia. The contract is governed by a comprehensive set of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including mandatory cybersecurity compliance under NIST SP 800-171 as enforced through DFARS 252.204-7012 and 252.204-7020, requiring the contractor to maintain and demonstrate implementation of cybersecurity controls, submit a System Security Plan, and permit DoD assessments. Packaging and marking must adhere to MIL-STD-129 for labeling and barcoding, while physical packaging complies with ASTM D3951 unless superseded by the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements. Invoicing is exclusively through Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), and acceptance occurs at the destination with inspection governed by MIL-STD-1916 and zero-defect sampling standards. Special requirements include compliance with hazard communication labeling under 252.223-7001, necessitating submission of Material Safety Data Sheets for any hazardous materials, and adherence to employment and whistleblower protection provisions. The contract includes standard clauses regarding System for Award Management registration and maintenance, employment eligibility verification, equal opportunity, sustainable procurement, and prohibition of certain confidentiality agreements. No specific contract type was designated, though the award structure implies a simplified acquisition under FAR Part 13. Evaluation factors emphasized technical compliance, cybersecurity posture, and small business representation, with failure to meet key requirements such as MSDS submission potentially resulting in non-responsibility determination.
